Wanted: Your ugly furniture!!!

Do you own some old, outdated furniture that you would like redone? We are looking for those "special" pieces that you just don't have a clue what to do with, and we will feature it on our blog and facebook. We will let customers and fans vote for

the "ugliest" piece and that piece will then be featured in a window of our shop for a makeover. Each day we will work, sand, paint, remove & restore this piece until it becomes a thing of coveted beauty. Then you may opt to keep it or sell it to highest bidder. Won't this be fun? We will let customers and fans vote for the "ugliest" 3 items of furniture and accessories.................categories of small items such as a shelf or chair; medium items such as an end table or dining table; larger items like a cupboard , dresser, desk, etc.

Don't fret - your names won't be used.

February 1 is the deadline so begin to think of those pieces sitting in your garage taking up space and let us work our magic for you! We can't wait to see what you come up with. Please submit furniture that doesn't need major construction work - such as in 15 pieces of wood in a box - we don't have that talent. February 1!!!!!

So, don't be embarassed - take a photo today and send
it to acornercottage@comcast.net.

Thank you for your loyal support of our shop 

for 91/2 years!  You are so appreciated!!!!

Holiday Style...A fabulous gift idea too!

Besides offering all the glitz ever needed in our traditional jewelry displays, we found loads of fun holiday sparkly bling for your fashion statement.  Scarves, earrings, bracelets, brooches, charms and cords.  You name it, you can have an inexpensive but fun look for your gift giving.

Amazing - that's what these little beauties have been!  We sell loads of these every day and cannot keep them in.  Our shawls are not your typical look, ours have lace and rosettes, and ripples and ruffles and buttons and trims galore.  All under $30 but you'd think they were designer duds.

We now a larger selection of Tee shirts - even for women sizes.  Add a sweater or two, or a crocheted cap, and you will make some lucky lady happy.

We have tees you can wear under the shirts or layer our tees and add a scarf for a more detailed look.  Jamie is always on board to help you style your way into the holidays with these wonderful lines.

This is a wonderful vintage inspired cardigan, with amazing patchwork detail. 

This is a scarf but it can be tied into a vest.

 In this photo it is being displayed as a vest. We will teach you how! These are wonderful, oh and I must mention they were featured in the O Magazine. :) 

Coral and blue coming soon.

"Tree of hope"

NEWEST STYLE "Keep Calm and Carry On"

We have two ladies busily sewing the warmest mittens ever.  They use old clothing items and put together the look of the year - non-matching woolen mittens and handwarmers.  Each unique and many styles and colors offered.

Here is a beautiful photo of product bought in the shop by customer Jorga.  She has a real talent for displaying, doesn't she? Thank you for sharing with everyone, Jorga!  Hugs, Peggy

Snowmen lighting up your holidays, mittens, birds, framed stitchery, grungy battery taper candles - all these must-haves for your own home.  We have the best "looked like you just picked it" garlands, houses, animals, pillows to add that extra touch to your holiday parties.

This year we offer wonderful, wooden platters and plates at very good prices with darling scenes painted on them. We will personalize these items for FREE with a turn around time of 2 days.  Aren't we always looking for a WOW gift for friends, neighbors and co-workers?  This will fit your budget and remember we gift wrap for free!

Remembering the real reason of the season, we offer many nativity sets, inspirational plaques and boxes, angels of every size and shape and sparkly,

snow globes w/Baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary.  Our light up angel canvases are so popular as they give any vignette ZING! 

Can't be on the beach for Christmas?  We have the next best thing......you can pretend you are on the beach.  We have flamingos, dolphins, mermaids and so much more in the bright, cheery colors of the beach- hot pink, aqua, lime green, sparkling silver.  You can't find a beach in the shop, but you can decorate a tree full of vacation memories.

Ho ho ho, a traditional Santa scene  with fun  accessories to highlight your holiday decorating.  I see a smile working its way into your home!

 This a small vintage inspired tin box ornament, they are adorable!

I think I have walked into the village of vintage homes.....complete with the little kids and snowmen to let your imagination soar.  I love these and they are so easy to put out and pick up after Christmas.  Many paper mache houses are battery operated and the others are electric.  They sparkle, and with the lights dimmed, you can make up your own stories about the parties taking place in each home and the hymns being sung in the church.  These will be keepsakes to pass onto your children for years to come.  Begin your tradition this year.

Silver & Sparkles!  What an amazing combination.  Add any of our houses, Santa's, snowmen and birds in the glitter of the season.  We have battery candles in silver, garlands in sparkles, jars, and votive holders.  Very chic!   A must for your holiday entertaining!

Vintage colors of aqua, pinks and off white abound in our vintage areas.  Add a little pizazz to your decor this year.  Try setting a table with a lace background, a large pink glittered Santa perched in the middle of a wonderful life like wreath.  Our garlands are vintage style and can be used in trees, mantles, place-settings, and any other area of your home. 

How about a Vintage Christmas? 

We have a limited supply of vintage/old glass ornaments in their original boxes!  Oh, the memories for me.  I can't own enough of boxes of these faded, sometimes chippy old balls.  Buy when you find these or they will be gone!

More Holiday photos coming soon!
